<p>Absalom Station has the Eyes Wide Agency, a private investigation firm of psychics. I'd like to see some sort of psychic class, without going all the way to psionics, that draws power from probability a la Marvel's Domino, uses telekinesis, can communication telepathically, wears fedoras and trench coats, and can buff itself with inner monologues.

<p>I don't know what a Medium or Kineticist is, but they sound kinda cool!
<br />
A Beast Master type of class would be neat, as mentioned by Dread Moores, too!</p>
<p>I also agree that a Scientist class could be different from the Mechanic by giving them a different focus like buffing/debuffing (Thanks Steve Geddes!), upgrading arms/armor/items/spaceships in new ways, or...I don't know.</p>I like all of your ideas for new classes guys!

<p>As much as I want to see a Starfinder take on a necromancer, I think that'll probably end up being a new mystic connection (most likely option) or alternate class features for technomancer (less likely, but possible) rather than a class of its own, and I'm fine with that.</p>
<p>Overall, we just don't really need the same variety of classes that Pathfinder has simply because the theme/class/archetype combo covers most of the same ground.

</blockquote><p>I like the idea of the Scientist. Perhaps some of the class' mechanics could involve research that allows item upgrades for themselves and their party.
<p>I'd also like to see Psionic classes introduced to the universe. Maybe they could include classes like the Adept from Shadowrun, a Telepath, or a class with a Telekinetic abilities.</p>Tyrnis wrote:I'm hoping we'll see a more dedicated (non-engineer) scientist -- sure, we have a biotechnician theme, which is nice, and you can always reflavor envoy healing/buffs/debuffs as medical tricks, but I think there's room there for a lot more cool stuff that warrants a class of its own.

That helps a lot!!</p>
<p>The "that means its effects last for only that amount of time" part of the rules had me confused. I didn't realize that "effects" here referred only to the those which cause the afflicted character to make saving throws.</p>Thank you both so much!! That helps a lot!!

<p>"Frequency: This is how often the periodic saving throw must be attempted after the affliction has been contracted. If the affliction lists an amount of time after its frequency—such as 1/minute for 6 minutes—that means its effects last for only that amount of time, regardless of whether the affected creature ever succeeds at a saving throw. Such an affliction cannot be cured via successful saving throws; after its duration ends, the victim remains at her current step on its progression track until she receives the benefit of remove affliction or a similar effect."</p>
<p>I am not sure I understand. In the example given, would the affliction only last a maximum of 6 minutes or would the affliction and its effects last until a remove affliction or similar effect is received by the character?</p>

<p>Can the Mechanic spend a Move Action, Standard Action, and Swift Action on his/her turn which is then followed by their drone spending a Standard Action&mdash;essentially meaning that the Mechanic attacks twice per round at level 1?</p>
